My Davis Vantage Vu has spent most of the month away for repair so can't
give any data. What I can say however is that here in the Isle of Man,
right in the middle of those depressions, July to use a ' technical '
term, has been absolutely ****e. Generally cool/cold, wet and windy with
the odd fair day, reminiscent of those dreadful 60s summers I
experienced as a youngster.

An awful, as in non-existent, summer so far. Looking at the jet stream
projections I've no hope of an improvement either.

I thought the same - my monthly stats suggest average, wet and dull but in reality that was not the case...

What I find strange is that this summer down here I think I have found
more evenings warm that you can sit outside than the past two summers,
yet, July 31st I recorded my coldest July night back to 1971.

..... but your stats do show 91% of average sunshine so not really dull?
dave

You're probably right. What percentage of average sun does it become classed as dull?
